Israeli military ordered to prepare for war on all fronts amid Iranian protests

A new long-term plan reportedly envisions a “dramatic expansion” of all IDF military activity, including weapons in outer space

Channel 12 reported that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been ordered to prepare for possible simultaneous conflict with Iran, Lebanon and in the West Bank. The preparations are described as part of a four-year long-term plan led by IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, and reportedly include development of capabilities to attack satellites and ground targets from space. One scenario cited by the broadcaster includes an "explosive operation" against Tehran amid widespread anti-government protests in Iran, driven by hyperinflation and economic crisis since late December. Israeli officials reportedly fear Iran might launch attacks to prevent the government's collapse. The article notes Mossad’s public support for the protests on social media and assertions that it has agents within demonstrations. It also references US President Donald Trump’s statements threatening military intervention and past coordinated strikes with Israel against Iranian targets. The piece originated on RT and cites Channel 12 as its source.
